GOOD FENCES - Laughing Kookaburra

Today I am linking this post with GOOD FENCES and this
is an image of a Kookaburra a friend of mine, Eddie at Mount Glorious just west of Brisbane about two years ago. His family were having lunch on the deck of a local restaurant when this
character suddenly perched on the fence near Brooke. Apparently he turns up at
the same time each day and waits.

WARNING! Tomorrow prepare yourselves! If any of you get sea sick, look out although we are not going on a boat, I fear it may be a ROUGH ride for some!Many thanks Eddie for the photograph.Many thanks for visiting and also to all who leave comments.

He is a big boy with a big beak! He actually looks bigger than some of the hawks around here. I have heard them laugh on T.V. You have me very intrigued about your next post! I love coming to visit my puffin every day!

I just had to stop by to admire your Kookaburra, you've got a fantastic picture of a very special bird. I just love seeing them in the wild - less so in my garden incase they decide to have a goldfish or two for tea!Wren x

About Me

I have retired from a medical background, from teaching a 3 year City and Guilds; and also running a Bed and Breakfast. I have taken up bird watching later in life however I became very enthusiastic from the beginning and was greatly encouraged by other bird watchers. For the past 8 years I have led a bird group in my town and have become a guest speaker on cruise shipstalking about Birds around the world. I have travelled quite a bit,in particular to Australia where one of my daughters lives. I have now as many birding friends there as at home in Northern Ireland. I love Nature and being able to share that with others of like mind. I also like photography and do my best to photograph birds although I sometimes get a bit frustrated as my zoom is just not powerful enough.

My daughter and family that were in Australia have now moved to Malawi to work and I have visited them several times as well as visiting Zambia. I.live in Northern Ireland which is part of the UK and it is a beautiful place to live however I love travelling and wil continnue to travel aslong as I am able. I would love to go to visit bloggers that I follow and they are always very welcome here in N. Ireland.
